CARTON FOR GLASSWARE Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented March 9, 1909.

Application lled April 23, 1907. Serial N o. 369,867.

To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, Lne H. PnLrAsoN, a citizen of the United States, and resident of St. Louis, Missouri, have invented certain new and useful Im rovements in Cartons for Glassware, of whic the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in cartons for glassware, and consists in the novel arrangement, construction and ccmbination of parts as will 'be fully hereinafter described and claimed. v

The object of my invention is to construct a cylinder of suitable material. At intervals apart on the inner surface I provide strips of corrugated material between which is placed the glass article.

In the drawings: Figure 1 is a perspective view of my invention with a lid or cover removed and a part of the cylinderbroken away showing the arrangement and location of the corrugated strips. Fig. 2 is a vertical central sectional view taken on the line 22 of Fig. 3. Fig. 3 is a horizontal sectional view of the same. Fig. 4 is a detail perspective view of the corrugated strip made use of in carrying out my invention.

In the construction of my invention I provide a cylinder or tubular body 5 having a bottoni 6 rigidly attached thereto, and on the top I provide a lid or cover 7. On the inner surface of the cylinder or tubular body and located at intervals apart, preferably three in number and located at equal distances apart I secure elongated corrugated strips 8, the upper and lower ends of each strip being flattened out as indicated by the numeral 9 and securely fastened to the inner surface of the cylinder or tubular body. The corrugated strips are constructed of resilient material and are so arranged as to snugly retain the article in position and this arrangementofcartonhasbeenpreferablyconstructed for the handling and transportation of lampchimneys. By this arrangement of carton the body of the lamp-chimney is spaced a sufficient distance from the walls of the carton and prevents the same from being broken when the said cartons containing the chimneys are packed closely together.

The present form of cartons used at the present day for packing high grade lampchimneys is made in square form and is of plain construction and nothing is located on the inner surface to prevent the body of the lam -chimneys from contacting with the wal ofthe carton. I find by a carton of this construction that the chimneys are better protected, the body more neatly labeled, and in general it gives a better salable appearance.

As illustrated in the drawings the strips are longitudinally disposed with reference to the cylinder, and are approximately of the same length as the cylinder.

Having fully described my invention, what I claim is:

The improved carton for glassware comprising a tubular body; a bottom rigidly attached thereto; a removable lid ada ted to close the upper end of the cylindrica body; three elongated corrugated strips longitudinally mounted upon the inner face of the tubular body, said strips corresponding in length to the length of the tubular body, and having their extremities flattened and being equidistant from each other, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof, I have signed my name to this specification., in presence of two subscribing witnesses.

LEO H. PELTASON.
